Partial to Simaudio have a 600iV2 and love it. I also have a Norma Audio Revo IPA-140B that is fantastic. If were going separates again these would the Amplifier Brands I would look at, as well as AGD.
Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT
I've been using a Bryston 4Bsst2 with my Vandersteen Quatro CT for the past 5 years. This was not an amp I purchased for the Quatro, just one that I happened to already have. It is about 12 years old. It has been a solid performer and I have no specific complaints....just curious what a different amp might offer. My preamp is an Audio Research LS-15. There are three amps that have been recommended by various sources. The Ayre VX-5 Twenty, The CODA Model 8, and the Moon by Simaudio 760a. These are all in my general price range. Anyone have experience with any or all of these? Which would you think would be the best match with my speakers?
